Room 101

[Profpointy]

People who say "literally" when the adtually mean "figuratively". That literally makes my blood boil!

In a similar vein, I despise "reaching a crescendo". A"crescendo" is a gradual getting louder, not the loud or exciting bit.

A quantum leap is another peeve. A quantum leap is the tiniest possible change after all

Same with “decimate” which used to mean reduce by a tenth

The word "socials" needs to go to 101, alongside "merch".

Along with Influencer & content creator 😡

The expression "Oh my god" and the title of Influencer.

People who use the word “myself “ when they mean “me”.
People who say they brought something from a shop. It’s “bought “.
Cockney accents.
Eastenders, the soap opera where people are always fighting.
The phrase “ leave it aaaht.”
Noisy people in pubs.

Was going to suggest clothing manufacturers who misdescribe the sizing, but then there would be hardly any cycling kit available.

I might have mentioned that to my wife a few times when a certain leader from across the water was over-using it

on quite a few occaisions

To be fair, the historic definition of "decimate" was pretty brutal, and has become accepted as meaning large scale destruction.

Unless said item is still in the shop, brought is also correct.

Or it could just be very far away?

Indeed. I have two different pairs of DHB brand bib shorts. One is medium and the other extra large. Both fit me and are the same size.

My wife would laugh in women’s clothing sizes.

Moaning threads on Cyclechat.

People who ask if they can lend something I have instead of can they borrow.
